Over 20 years KenBates transformed Chelsea from a club on the brink of going bust into a large public company at the centre of a major corporate venture.
Fans of the west London club, then owned by KenBates, were hugely grateful to Mr Abramovich, who not only cleared their debts but started a massive programme of investment in players.
If KenBates' club were to receive all 15 points back, as things stand they would move up to second in League One and could clinch automatic promotion back to the Championship.
